Carrie

carrie slayed.

Carrie was so beautiful but I felt the shower scene was super unnecessary and how they depicted highschool girls naked at the beginning was just not needed. But carrie had like extreme religious trauma and everyone was horrible to her for no reason, I think she deserved better!

I’d never seen this movie but knew a lot of the plot and some scenes felt drawn out because of that. But I could see them being effective for those who don’t know what happens. Loved the camera and sound work, very unnerving and claustrophobic.

Yuuuuuuuuh

A misunderstood, mistreated girl. Criminally underrated main character, I think she’s not given the credit she deserves, poor thing

This is so 70s, and yet it somehow couldn’t be less 70s.

We really don’t need to see 20 naked high school girls in the first two minutes. The movie is also very slow-paced, similar to Halloween. But at the same time, it’s incredibly ahead of its time, with its main themes of bullying and entering adulthood. Everything unfolds on a much more psychological level, which gives it an elevated horror feel. There are also great shots like the split diopter lens scene or the split-screen sequence. Through that the film really shows how far ahead it was.
